The transition to adolescence is characterized by rapid development of puberty, reward processing, and internalizing psychopathology (i.e., depression anxiety). More advanced pubertal status altered processing are both known be associated with elevated symptoms. However, it was unclear what extent interacted each other in predicting psychopathology. We examined how the puberty-psychopathology association moderated indexed ERPs, including positivity (RewP) late positive potential (LPP). A-hundred-and-fifteen nine-to-12-year-old typically developing youths (66 girls; Mean age/SD =10.98/1.18 years) reported their symptoms social anxiety completed an EEG Doors task that assessed monetary feedback processing. A principal component analysis ERP data identified a RewP, anterior LPP, posterior elicited win loss task. puberty-social relationship neural marker sensitivity. Specifically, more puberty heightened presence larger, but not smaller, RewP. did observe any moderating effect LPPs. Our study provided novel evidence hypersensitivity toward stimuli (indexed enlarged RewP) further exacerbated risks for anxiety.

Beneath the Surface of Self‐Reports: Dissecting Subjective and Neural Responses to Age‐Specific Visual Stimuli

The current study examined how adolescents respond to emotionally arousing images that are considered age-appropriate, such as sports, food, and threatening animals. Prior research in adults has shown a mismatch between subjective arousal ratings the late positive potential (LPP) for pleasant images, we aimed test whether this discrepancy is also present adolescents. results showed larger LPP response unpleasant, compared pleasant, contents. However, comparisons across different emotional contents concordance neural engagement varies depending on of scenes. Specifically, animals were rated high prompted largest adolescents, while sad people mundane activities lower smallest responses. significant divergence their responses depicting food sport: despite being arousal, these elicited relatively small LPPs. These highlight challenges selecting pictures assess neuroaffective unpleasant To overcome challenges, future studies may adopt experimental paradigms will allow researchers measure not just free-viewing contexts but during anticipation reception actual rewards (and punishments).

Late Positive Potential Elicited by Monetary Reward Feedback Predicts Changes of Disordered Eating From Age 11 to Age 12 in Community‐Dwelling Girls

International Journal of Eating Disorders, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 57(10), P. 2106 - 2116

ABSTRACT Objective Early adolescence is marked by elevated psychopathology, including disrupted eating attitudes and behaviors. Reward processing an identified mechanism in portending pathology, that is, aberrant reward responsivity may contribute to reward‐seeking behaviors (e.g., food consuming). This literature has focused on adults or mid‐to‐late adolescents, with little work done early adolescence. We examined the linkages between feedback processing, indexed event‐related potentials (ERPs), changes of emerging disordered community‐dwelling adolescents. Method At T1, 115 youths (66 girls, mean/SD age = 11.00/1.16 years) completed EEG monetary Doors task. Youths Eating Disorder Examination‐Questionnaire Short at T1 ~6 months (T2) ~12 (T3) after T1. In ERP data, we isolated a positivity (RewP) late positive potential (LPP) via principal component analysis. applied multilevel modeling examine whether baseline ERPs interacted Time predicting these interactions varied sex. Results found significant × LPP interaction girls but not boys. Among only those smaller toward losses (versus wins), which might reflect suboptimal evaluation regulatory processes undesired situations, showed increases from T3. Discussion provided preliminary yet novel evidence concerning prospective associations Future studies along this line will be critical for understanding mechanisms identifying risk, developing prevention strategies.
